    TLDR Human hair has bipolar electrical charges because of a gap in the hair follicle's electromagnetic field.
    The document discusses the electromagnetic properties of human hair, specifically the presence of bipolar electrical charges in the hair shaft. It references the detection of magnetic fields in human hair follicles using magnetometers since 1980 and the development of a tabletop optical microscopy method in 2015 for observing these fields. The study presents qualitative images that document the bipolar electrical property of the hair shaft, suggesting that the shaft exhibits a positive charge on one side, which is linked to triggering blood coagulation as evidenced by fibrin formation. The conclusion of the document is that the bipolarity of the hair shaft is due to a gap in the electromagnetic fields of the follicle, which prevents energy from completely surrounding the shaft.

      community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  51 upvotes 1 month ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

      in Satire  83 upvotes 7 months ago
      The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and topical 17 alpha estradiol, with some users joking about transitioning to female to avoid baldness. The overall tone is satirical, emphasizing self-acceptance and the lengths people might consider for hair restoration.
